DA-ActNN-YOLOV5: Hybrid YOLO v5 Model with Data Augmentation and Activation of Compression Mechanism for Potato Disease Identification

Abstract

To solve the problems of weak generalization of potato early and late blight recognition models in real complex scenarios, susceptibility to interference from crop varieties, colour characteristics, leaf spot shapes, disease cycles and environmental factors, and strong dependence on storage and computational resources, an improved YOLO v5 model (DA-ActNN-YOLOV5) is proposed to study potato diseases of different cycles in multiple regional scenarios. Thirteen data augmentation techniques were used to expand the data to improve model generalization and prevent overfitting; potato leaves were extracted by YOLO v5 image segmentation and labelled with LabelMe for building data samples; the component modules of the YOLO v5 network were replaced using model compression technology (ActNN) for potato disease detection when the device is low on memory. Based on this, the features extracted from all network layers are visualized, and the extraction of features from each network layer can be distinguished, from which an understanding of the feature learning behavior of the deep model can be obtained. The results show that in the scenario of multiple complex factors interacting, the identification accuracy of early and late potato blight in this study reached 99.81%. The introduced data augmentation technique improved the average accuracy by 9.22%. Compared with the uncompressed YOLO v5 model, the integrated ActNN runs more efficiently, the accuracy loss due to compressed parameters is less than 0.65%, and the time consumption does not exceed 30 min, which saves a lot of computational cost and time. In summary, this research method can accurately identify potato early and late blight in various scenarios.

Automatic Detection of Brain Metastases in T1-Weighted Construct-Enhanced MRI Using Deep Learning Model

“…Previous BM detection studies have used a confidence threshold of 50% [ 9 , 31 , 32 ] or confidence thresholds ranging from 0.1 to 0.9 [ 11 ]; however, these approach may not lead to optimal results for BM detection. Other object detection research has utilized the F1-score, which represents the harmonic mean of precision and recall, to determine the optimal confidence threshold [ 33 , 34 , 35 ]. As the recall is more important than the precision in BM detection, we introduced the F2-score, which emphasizes the importance of recall by assigning it twice the weight of precision, to determine the optimal confidence threshold.…”

An Improved YOLOv5 for Accurate Detection and Localization of Tomato and Pepper Leaf Diseases

“…Among the two, YOLOv4 tiny yielded the highest performance, achieving an mAP of 97.36% on a dataset of 762 web-collected images. Dai et al [3] introduced an improved version of YOLOv5 called DA-ActNN-YOLOv5 for regional potato disease detection across multiple cycles. The YOLOv5 network's component modules were replaced using model compression technology (ActNN).…”

Advancing Rural Building Extraction via Diverse Dataset Construction and Model Innovation with Attention and Context Learning

“…Building extraction based on deep learning is a computer vision semantic segmentation task, that is, dividing real objects into buildings and non-buildings [32]. We obtained Google remote sensing images of some rural areas in the above research areas in 2020 with a resolution of 0.29 m from Google Earth and used the open-source LabelMe software version 5.2.1 based on PyQt for image annotation (buildings in red, non-buildings in black) to generate annotated images corresponding to the original images [33]. To adapt to the training process of deep learning, each village orthophoto was uniformly cropped into 256 × 256 pixels to generate cropped images.…”
